ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 7 255HX; 20 cores / 20 threads, 2.4 GHz base, up to 5.2 GHz, 30 MB cache; Intel AI Boost NPU (up to 13 TOPS) ASUSIntel Core i9-13980HX; 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficiency), 2.2 GHz base, up to 5.6 GHz, 36 MB cache

Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s cooling determines the real sustained power.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR7; ROG Boost 1610 MHz at 115 W (100 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost)

115 W is the highest total power the GPU can draw: 15 W of Dynamic Boost is added to the 100 W base limit when the processor is lightly loaded. 1610 MHz is the 1560 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz factory overclock. GPUs in the stronger G615 versions go up to 140 W.

ASUS		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2420 MHz at 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

ASUS adds a 50 MHz factory overclock to NVIDIA’s 2370 MHz. 115 W is the card’s sustained limit; Dynamic Boost shifts 25 W to the GPU when the CPU load is low. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded.

ASUS
Display16-inch FHD+ 16:10 (1920 × 1200) IPS-level, anti-glare; 165 Hz; 3 ms; 100% sRGB

165 Hz means smooth motion up to 165 frames per second; the 3 ms response time describes how fast pixels change colour. The family also includes 2.5K 240 Hz versions; this SKU uses the FHD+ panel.

ASUS		ROG Nebula: 16-inch QHD+ 16:10 (2560 × 1600), IPS-level, anti-glare; 240 Hz, 3 ms, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Pantone Validated

G-Sync matches the display refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% DCI-P3 means it covers the cinema colour space; Pantone validation refers to factory colour calibration.

ASUS
Memory16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 64 GB, dual-channel capable

This SKU has a single 16 GB module; adding a second module lets the memory run in dual channel. Memory speed may vary with what the processor supports.

ASUS		32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, up to 32 GB, dual channel

The modules are replaceable, but ASUS gives 32 GB as the maximum for this model; both slots come filled.

ASUS
Storage512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; two M.2 PCIe slots

Both SSD slots use the screwless Q-Latch retainer. ASUS says both slots are PCIe Gen 5 ready; the bundled SSD is PCIe 4.0.

ASUS		2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 × M.2 PCIe slots

The second M.2 slot is for an additional SSD.

ASUS
Ports3 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbit/s); 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbit/s, DisplayPort, power delivery, G-Sync); 1 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, power delivery); HDMI 2.1 FRL; RJ45; 3.5 mm audio

G-Sync support is listed on the USB-C port, so that is the port to use for variable refresh on an external monitor.

ASUS		1 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, 40 Gbps), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-SYNC, 10 Gbps), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × RJ45 LAN, 1 × 3.5 mm audio jack

For G-SYNC on an external monitor use the USB‑C port; on this SKU the Thunderbolt 4 port is not listed with G-SYNC. The 2.5G LAN of the RTX 4080 models is not on this model.

CoolingEnd-to-end vapor chamber, sandwiched heatsink, tri-fan; Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the CPU

According to ASUS, liquid metal is applied to the GPU only on RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti versions, so this RTX 5060 version has none on the GPU. Hot air exits behind the hinge.

Whether the adapter is included can vary by country and model.

ASUS		90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; ø6.0 mm 280 W adapter; ASUS also lists a 100 W USB‑C adapter

Full GPU and CPU power needs the 280 W adapter. ASUS says whether adapters are included varies by country and model.
